Malpractice in the health professions is one of the issues that can cause harm to patients, health professionals, and healthcare institutions. A lack of understanding among students as prospective health professionals regarding ethical aspects, legal principles, professional standards, and proper service procedures may increase the risk of malpractice. This Community Service activity aims to provide students of STIKES Pasapua Ambon with an understanding of the concept of malpractice, the factors causing malpractice, and preventive efforts through the implementation of professional ethics, compliance with standard operating procedures, effective communication, and the improvement of professional competence. The activity was carried out through counseling, educational sessions, interactive discussions, and guidance on health law for participants. The results of the activity indicate an increase in students’ knowledge and awareness of the importance of understanding the limits of professional authority, legal responsibility, and preventive measures to avoid malpractice in healthcare practice. This activity is expected to help develop future health professionals who are professional, ethical, and responsible in providing safe and high-quality healthcare services.

This study aims to (1) identify the effect of using the Direct Instruction learning model on the discipline character values of students in the special sports class at SMA Muhammadiyah Wonosobo, (2) identify the effect of using the Inquiry Learning model on the discipline character values of students in the special sports class at SMA Muhammadiyah Wonosobo,  (3) identify the effect of using the Project-Based Learning model on the discipline character values of students in the special sports class at SMA Muhammadiyah Wonosobo, and (4) determine the most effective learning model among Direct Instruction, Inquiry Learning, and Project-Based Learning in improving the discipline character values of students in the special sports class at SMA Muhammadiyah Wonosobo. This research is an experimental study using a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design, namely the one-group pretest–posttest design. In this design, a single group is given a pretest (O), followed by a treatment (X), and then a posttest. The effect of the treatment can be identified more accurately by comparing the pretest and posttest scores. The stages of the One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design include determining the sample, conducting a pretest to measure students’ initial conditions, administering the treatment, and finally conducting a posttest to identify the results of the treatment. The results of the analysis indicate that all three learning models have a positive effect on improving students’ discipline. The improvement is reflected in the overall mean score, which increased from 114.03 (pretest) to 117.99 (posttest). The improvement scores for each learning model are as follows: Direct Instruction showed a 4% increase by improving compliance through structured learning; Inquiry Learning encouraged independence and self-control through discovery processes with a 3% increase; while Project-Based Learning resulted in a 4% increase in discipline. Thus, it can be concluded that all learning models contribute to the development of discipline character values. These findings provide practical implications for physical education teachers in selecting character-based learning models that are more appropriate.

This study investigates the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, specifically ChatGPT and Jenni AI, in supporting academic integrity through accurate citation generation. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the research involved 30 undergraduate students who evaluated AI-generated citations using Fishman’s (2014) Academic Integrity Theory and Smith’s (2020) Citation Accuracy Framework. Data were collected through questionnaires assessing students’ perceptions of reliability, ethical responsibility, and accuracy in AI-assisted citation practices. Quantitative analysis revealed that Honesty and Accountability were the most dominant values (22.58% each), followed by Fairness and Respect (19.35% each), Trust (12.90%), and Courage (3.23%). Qualitative findings showed that students recognized AI’s potential to enhance writing efficiency but emphasized the need for human verification to ensure factual correctness and ethical compliance. Comparatively, Jenni AI demonstrated greater consistency and citation verification than ChatGPT, which exhibited more frequent fabrication and inaccuracy. The study concludes that while AI tools can enhance academic productivity, maintaining academic integrity still requires critical human oversight, ethical awareness, and adherence to scholarly honesty and accountability.

This study investigates teachers’ perceptions, challenges, and institutional support related to the implementation of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in a rural Indonesian secondary school under the context of the Kurikulum Merdeka reform. While DI is widely recognized as a student-centered pedagogical framework that adapts content, process, product, and learning environment to students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles (Tomlinson, 2017), its application in rural contexts remains underexplored. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from three English teachers and two school stakeholders at MTs N 2 Manggarai Barat through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and classroom observations. Thematic analysis revealed that teachers perceived DI as a way to recognize learner diversity and as part of curriculum compliance, but their practices often remained partial and uneven. Stakeholders expressed awareness of DI, though with differing emphases: the headmaster focused on inclusivity, while the curriculum coordinator referred to multiple intelligences and student potential. Teachers faced challenges in three main areas: managing student diversity and curriculum shifts, preparing the Modul Ajar, and addressing students’ limited English vocabulary. Institutional support was evident through facilities, monitoring, and professional development, yet remained largely administrative rather than pedagogical. These findings confirm earlier studies that DI in Indonesia is conceptually valued but practically constrained by systemic, contextual, and linguistic barriers. The study recommends sustained, hands-on professional development, leadership mentoring, and reduced administrative burdens to enable DI’s transformative potential in rural schools.

The sign system in public spaces functions as a visual communication tool and shapes people's experiences and perceptions. The objectives of this study are; 1) to identify the types of signs found in shopping centers; 2) to analyze the function and role of these signs in supporting activities and social interactions in shopping centers; and 3) to explain how these signs influence visitors' perceptions and experiences. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with research stages including literature study, determining the location of the study, data collection, data analysis using Peirce's semiotic theory, data validity testing, and drawing conclusions. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation and documentation stages. The results of this study found that the visual sign system in the Ramayana Teladan Medan shopping center is classified into several categories of signs according to Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory, such as Rhematic Indexical Legisign, Dicent Sinsign, Qualisign, and Iconic Legisign. Visualization of signs—whether through images, colors, or text—can influence visitors' understanding and behavior, for example by increasing alertness, compliance with rules, or perceptions of safety and comfort.

Hygiene and food sanitation are crucial practices for any business that produces food products. The implementation of hygiene and sanitation in food factories is essential, as it significantly impacts the health of consumers, workers, and the overall development of the company. Consumers tend to prefer safe, clean, and healthy products. Observations conducted at a cracker factory located in Setiajaya Village, Cibeureum District, Tasikmalaya City revealed that the application of food hygiene and sanitation was not fully implemented. Consequently, a series of educational activities were organized to emphasize the importance of hygiene and sanitation in the cracker production process. The aim of these activities was to enhance workers' awareness and compliance with food hygiene and sanitation practices. Direct engagement with workers was employed through educational posters based on the H.I.G.I.E.N.I.S. approach. The educational initiative was met with enthusiasm from the workers, which is expected to improve their understanding of hygiene and sanitation practices in the cracker factory. This initiative highlights the necessity for ongoing education to maintain food safety standards and protect consumer health.

This study investigates the application of David B. Resnik's ethical principles—honesty, objectivity, integrity, carefulness, and openness—in academic writing and research among students. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, surveys and student paper analyses were conducted to measure awareness, adherence, and challenges. The results indicate that 95% of students are aware of general ethical principles in academic writing, yet only 70% are familiar with Resnik’s specific framework, leaving 30% unaware of these detailed concepts. Regarding practice, 100% of respondents consistently cited sources correctly, but 66% admitted to paraphrasing without proper attribution, showing gaps between ethical knowledge and application. Challenges identified include maintaining honesty (51%), avoiding plagiarism (29%), ensuring openness (11%), and minimizing bias (9%), often influenced by external pressures and resource limitations. To address these issues, students suggested practical solutions such as workshops, seminars, and digital guides to enhance understanding and compliance with ethical standards. This study emphasizes the importance of ethics education, institutional policy enhancements, and accessible resources to strengthen the implementation of academic integrity, bridging the gap between awareness and consistent ethical practice.

This study utilizes image processing technology to detect student hair length in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) at IPB Vocational School. Manual supervision is often inefficient and prone to subjectivity, leading to the development of an automated detection system using a region-based segmentation approach. This method identifies the forehead area as a reference point, where hair is considered long if it exceeds specified limits. The system is implemented in a web-based application called Rambot, enabling students to verify their compliance with SOPs more easily. This technology aims to improve the accuracy and consistency of hair length monitoring.

This study investigates the hegemonic practices depicted in George Orwell’s “1984” and Okky Mandasari’s “Entrok,” comparing the methods of state control and indoctrination in both novels. Hegemony, as conceptualized by Gramsci, involves not just physical dominance but also ideological influence and societal consensus. This research employs a qualitative inductive method to explore how these novels represent state hegemony through their narratives and characters “1984” portrays a dystopian society where The  Party exerts total control, influencing citizens from childhood through public spectacles      and constant surveillance, leading to pervasive fear and compliance. Similarly, “Entrok” depicts the New Order era in Indonesia, where the state employs indoctrination intimidation to maintain power, affecting individuals and their communities. Through  comparative literature theory, this study highlights the similarities and differences in the  portrayal of state dominance in these two novels. The findings reveal that both novels  illustrate the pervasive and multifaceted nature of hegemony, emphasizing the role of  ideological control and the subtle mechanisms of power that shape societal behavior and  beliefs.
